Lose fat, not muscle

Losing weight doesn’t have to mean losing muscle. Protein is a building block of muscle, and it’s necessary for building and repairing tissue. Combining appropriate amounts of high-quality protein in combination with resistance training can help support preservation of muscle mass.

If you are taking weight loss medications, it can be hard to meet your daily protein intake from dietary foods alone. Oral nutritional supplements containing high quality protein with essential vitamins and minerals can help you meet your nutritional goals during your weight management journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Weight loss is an overall decrease in your body weight. Basically, weight loss includes any type of weight you’ve lost, including water weight, fat, and muscle mass. Fat loss is more specific: a reduction only in body fat.

Ideally, on your weight loss journey, you’ll want to combine adequate protein intake with exercise to help preserve lean muscle; stay motivated and keep sight of your weight management goals.

If you lose too much lean muscle mass, you might start feeling lethargic, fatigued, and unmotivated. You might also have a lower resting metabolic rate, meaning you’ll start burning fewer calories at rest and during exercise. It might become harder for you to lose weight.

If you think you’re losing muscle mass, don’t worry. Chances are, you might not be getting enough protein every day. By incorporating certain foods into your diet, you can help meet your daily protein needs and support muscle health. Try making high protein and low-fat meals with these ingredients:

  • Whey
  • Milk proteins
  • Eggs
  • Meat
  • Fish
  • Soy Lentils
